A very strange thing is happening. I am running a script on a new server (it works on my current server and laptop).

The strange thing is that I only get it to (sort of) work when I increase memory limit to 1024M (!). It is extracting a large zip file and going through the files, so I thought it was normal. Instead of this script terminating or ending with errors. I get an error from my browser:

The server at http://www.localhost.com is
taking too long to respond.

Localhost.com? The web server is just localhost:9090 and I can see Apache is still running. Maybe Apache crashes momentarily and it can’t find the server? But nothing about apache crashing in the log files.

This isn’t a server issue, its more to do with my PHP script and memory usage I think, so no need to move to server fault.

What could be the problem? How can I narrow do the cause, I am at loss here!

The server is a windows server running Apache 2.2 with PHP version 5.3.2. May laptop and the other working server are running version 5.3.0 and 5.3.1 for PHP.

Thanks all for any help

    Ensure that,

    ini_set('display_errors','On');
ini_set('error_reporting',E_ALL);
ini_set('max_execution_time', 180);
ini_set('memory_limit','1024MB' );

    I’d pop this in the top of the script and see what comes out. It should show you errors and the like.

    The other thing, have you checked fopen and the path of the file which it’s loading?

    Abs said,

    check files being zipped up can be zipped by PHP (permissions
    especially on a Windows OS with multi
    users)
